As a game programmer, I love UE5. As a gamer who's seen how the sausage is made, I hate that companies would rather use it to churn stuff out on its default settings than use it to make something good.

My mom has thyroid issues, and I'm chronically exhausted. I keep hoping that one day my markers will be off in my bloodwork so my dr can do something about it lol. Hypersomnia is awful to live with no matter the cause tho. I'm sorry you're also living it.

It happens every time, yet I keep doing it every year. Getting my shots next week. Maybe this time will be better 😬

I do already have a commercial license (bc I got a huge discount after graduating for using it as a student), so I'll probably use it the rest of this year to get my money's worth... but we'll see once it becomes time for renewal. I'm tired of all the AI

This upsets me so much. I literally love their IDEs

It's gotten easier now that I'm leading a team of programmers. Other people relying on my work def helps me make decidions faster lol.

For sure, the awareness that it can always be better def goes both ways sometimes. 🥲

I've found that's how I am with a lot of things in game dev. I tend to want to over-optimize everything, and sometimes that means weeks of mulling over game architecture before I even do anything. Some planning is good, but I want to get better at just diving in.

I love it!

Do your research before choosing a domain registrar, people. Seriously, it'll save you a headache and months of downtime.

😞 Rip to all of us gifted kids who went into game dev where there are no jobs lol

They're obviously BS and have no real bearing on my life now, but still, I've always wondered.

OMG I forgot about the IQ test. I remember thinking it was really silly, but not much else because I think it was administered in either 1st or 2nd grade? I tried asking my mom what I got, and she wouldn't tell me (the results were given to her directly), and she claims now that she doesn't remember

My mom still sees the old admin sometimes and says that when they see her they still say that I was the school's most brilliant student. Just think it's "funny" that they feel a sense of accomplishment when they fought against giving me any sort of enrichment at every turn.

My mom had to fight like hell to even get them to let me skip two grades in Math, which was honestly way more complicated for everyone involved than just letting me skip a grade or two.

We must have gone to the same school lmao. I'd finish my work early and then get yelled at for reading or drawing. Like what did they want me to do, stare at the wall all day?? (The answer is probably yes, sadly.) Apparently it "made the other students feel bad" to see me reading or drawing 🙄
